The Female Man is a dystopian science-fiction, but because it is considered feminist you think it would turn your readers stomachs?
Thank you, so much, for perpetuating sexism in the world and in science fiction.

A ground-breaking, brilliant indictment of gender roles and sexism. Experimental and razor sharp. Harrowing, cutting, and humorous, this definitive feminist SF novel is a true classic of New Wave-era Speculative Fiction. One of my all-time favorites.

Way to lower the bar so a feminist novel could make the list. Feminism isn't in its infancy. It's dying as women realize its many, many betrayals. It shall be regulated to the psychiatrist couch and psychiatric ward where it belongs as women and men learn to live together.
